Chapter 417 Prospects for the Pistons

Most of the Pistons players are hot-tempered guys, even players like Chauncey Billups can't stand it, Ron Artest beats the behavior of fans, and the players on the Pacers' side are also hot-tempered guys, seeing their teammates being besieged, they also quickly joined the team to help Ron Artest clear the siege. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's a pity that the Pacers players are facing Pistons fans, and the Pistons' home court is the home court of the Devils, because their fans and spectators are all salarymen, and their bodies are all very strong, and the most important thing is that they are very united, and they are not afraid of provoking trouble, so there are two little fans wearing blue and white T-shirts who took the initiative to provoke Ron Artest, but they were knocked down by Ron Artest with a punch, and the people around saw Ron Artest so arrogant and immediately besieged Ron Artest, and the scene was chaotic again.

The scene is getting more and more out of control, and when the Pistons players basically join the team, Osborne wants to go too, but he doesn't dare to go, not because he is afraid, but if he is also banned because of this incident, then the Pistons will be finished. After all, after this fight, the punishment of the players is the most severe in the history of the NBA, the main participant Ron Artest was directly banned for one season, and the other participants were also banned for dozens of games, and some were even prosecuted.

And Larry Brown was also afraid of Osborne's impulsiveness, so he went directly to him and told Osborne: "Osborne, you must not be impulsive, the punishment for this chaos will definitely not be low, I hope you can carry the team after this turmoil." ”

After hearing this, Osborne no longer wondered whether he should play or not, and replied directly: "Don't worry, head coach, even if the Pistons team is the only one with me, I must let all the teams know how good I am Osborne." ”

Osborne's words were enough to lift his spirit, and Larry Brown stopped talking nonsense, and went directly to the radio room to remind everyone to stay calm and restrained, but this did not seem to have any effect, until a large number of security personnel and police officers arrived at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena to control the situation, and the chaos was gradually controlled, and then the referee signaled the players to continue the game.

At this time, Osborne led the Pistons bench players on the court, and the Pacers players seemed to refuse to play, and there was no way for the referee to signal the technical statistics table to let the game time go, and then the players of the two teams faced off in their respective halves, staring at the end of the game.

The final fifty seconds of the game were quickly over, and the Pistons eventually won 103-87 over the Pacers to claim a costly regular season victory.

The impact of this game is huge, no one cares who wins and loses this game, no one pays attention to how many points Osborne scores, no one pays attention to how the other teams play at the same time, at this time people only care about one thing, and that is the fight.

As soon as the game ended, all the reporters surrounded Pistons head coach Larry Brown and Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, and the reporters who were shooting long and short guns were all concerned about the incident.

Larry Brown said it was a terrible incident that shouldn't have happened, and he didn't want to talk about the cause, saying that he was only concerned about the penalties for the players involved in the fight.

Rick Carlisle: That's what I mean, there's no point in discussing who's right and who's wrong, just a strict demand that players don't do anything outside of their own rules, and he says it's the worst brawl in the league.

After some encirclement, the reporters finally let go of the two tired head coaches.

And Osborne also went home at this time to take a hot shower and fell asleep, and waited until the next day of the league's investigation and evidence collection, the league's top management has given punishment regulations, and made the most severe punishment in history for the fight, and finally NBA President David Stern announced the punishment results, and made heavy punishments for many candidates including Ron Artest who participated in the fight.

Ron Artest, as the number one culprit, was banned from all 73 regular season games and 13 playoff games remaining in the 04~05 season, with a total economic loss of 4.99 million US dollars, Stephen Jackson was suspended for 30 games, O'Neal Jr. for 25 games, Johnson for 5 games, Reggie Miller for 1 game, and center Harrison escaped the league punishment, but he could not escape legal punishment.

And the punishment on the Pistons' side is also very serious, center Ben Wallace was suspended for 6 games, even if he was not directly involved in the brawl, but he was one of the fuses of this incident, but he was exempt from prosecution. Chauncee Billups, Derek Coleman, Elden Campbell are suspended for one game.

The impact of this game is far from this, Osborne feels that after this incident, the pattern of the East has suddenly become clear, it was originally the Pistons, the Pacers, and the Nets three mountains to suppress the Eastern League, but now there are only two teams in the East that have the right to participate in the Finals, that is, the Pistons and the Nets, and the Pacers have fallen directly, after they were sanctioned by the league, there is not much hope for the playoffs, even if they can make the playoffs, they have no way to go further.

In fact, it seems that the Pistons have not been affected too much, as long as Osborne can lead the team to continue to soar and maintain their condition, and the Pistons have a much better chance of entering the Finals, and the process is much easier.

After Larry Brown learned about the punishment regulations of the league's top management, he didn't say anything, just called all the players of the Pistons over and said the specific task.

The next day, Oss was supposed to report to Auburn Hills Palace at the request of Larry Brown, and when he arrived, the rest of the Pistons were also there.

When Larry Brown saw the players coming, he began to say: "Everyone knows how bad things were yesterday, we should have enjoyed a big victory, but the irascible and rude Pacers players ruined all this and affected us, but let's not be discouraged, you must know that we are still the best team in the league, and this kind of thing happens, it is just a test of God for us, and then I announce a request, that is, the players who have been banned should also train with the team, and they must not be slack, Just like normal training, can you do this? ”

Ben Wallace, Derek Coleman, Chauncey Billups, Elden Campbell replied loudly: "We can't beat it, we're the strongest." ”

After saying that, Larry Brown was also relieved, after all, he didn't know much about the players' current thoughts, but as long as he kept training constantly, he could maintain the team's combat effectiveness.

Then Larry Brown asked the players to start their regular technical training, let Osborne continue to practice three-point shooting and breakthrough shooting, let Tysha Ang Prince practice the confrontation of the upper body, let Richard Hamilton practice various off-ball movements, let Rashid Wallace practice mid-range shooting and interior defense, and let Ben Wallace practice controlling his temper.

After each practice, Larry Brown personally refereed the attackers led by Osborne, Richard Hamilton, and Chauncey Billups against the defenders led by Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Taysha Amplins, and Elden Campbell.

The game was quite interesting, the offensive side definitely didn't attack the inside, the defender definitely didn't shoot three-pointers, only played inside, this was the way of playing in the first half, and then in the second half, the two teams completely reversed the style of play, and the final result was 63:45, Osborne's team won by 18 points, after all, it was a long time to lose.

And Osborne's confidence in the Pistons is even stronger, he feels that the Pistons' tactical system is still there, and the Pistons will be supported by himself in the past few days, until all the main players come back. (To be continued.) )
